Ethereum Could Reach $8.5K If Bitcoin Hits $150K

I believe Ethereum could rally above $8,500 if Bitcoin pushes to $150,000, echoing trader Yashasedu’s view based on historical bull-market relationships between BTC and ETH. In the 2021 cycle Ether reached roughly 36% of Bitcoin’s market cap, and I see that ratio potentially reappearing as a driver for ETH upside.

If Bitcoin climbs about 25% from its current $119,335 to $150,000, I estimate Ether could reach roughly $8,656 at a 35% market-cap share. Even using a more conservative 21.7–30% range, I think ETH could trade between $5,376 and $7,420, reflecting different plausible market-cap outcomes.

I highlight Ethereum’s strong fundamentals cited by Yashasedu — total value locked (TVL) topping $90 billion, growing institutional interest, and record spot ETF demand — as reasons the historical ratio could reassert itself. Several market veterans, including Tom Lee, Arthur Hayes, and Joe Burnett, have also projected Bitcoin to exceed $150K this year, with some forecasting $250K in 2025, which would likely benefit Ether.

Institutional activity is already notable: BitMine Immersion Technologies reportedly intends to raise up to $20 billion for ETH exposure, and spot Ether ETFs recorded $1.01 billion in net inflows in a single day. I note Ether currently trades around $4,630, only about 5.35% below its $4,878 all-time high from November 2021, and Yashasedu expects momentum to persist until ETH reclaims that ATH. MN Trading Capital’s Michaël van de Poppe also anticipates a new ATH followed by consolidation.
